Here is a little philosophy for you…
Years ago I found myself doing most of the clean up after Christmas Dinner was over.. I would start clearing while most everyone sat at the table while I worked around them.. I would get so upset that no one just volunteered to help.. After years and years of this I finally said to different family/friends that had attended, “could you please get the plates cleared scarped and ready to go into the dishwasher" ? Another couple of people asked them to please bring in the left over food, etc… I found that if you “designate/ask” your guests to help, they feel more included. Not always do people just know what to do, but if you “direct” them, they are usually more than happy to help. And now that you have all this help, you have brought the party into the kitchen with you, or you can sit down and enjoy the festivities at the table.. 
I hope this helps you this Christmas or for future dinner parties you may have.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
